The former Wimbledon Crazy Gang member and Sunderland coach Carlton Fairweather has died at the age of 63. Fairweather, who enjoyed a 22-year association with Sunderland in various coaching and community roles after his playing career, died surrounded by his family on Monday night months after it was revealed he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Sunderland’s sporting director, Kristjaan Speakman, told the club website: “Carlton’s personality and charisma were unique. He worked across all aspects of our club and the reason he’s so highly thought of is down to his dedication, humility, and work ethic. He will be truly missed by all within our club.”
